It looked like an awesome place to spend your childhood! Thanks for watching.

Beautiful

Great job, Mickey. I knew about Burlington Island but didn't realize people used to live there! So sad they lost their homes, but it's nice to see the return to nature. Keep up the good work!

Thanks so much, Lauren. I appreciate you always checking these out. Hope you guys are doing great!

The Trenton "Warf", is a great place to film . Next to the Public dock. The rigging is still there! My grandparents had a store by US STEEL,the sold tobacco and cloth. At night they would brew moon shine in there house ,and my father would sell the shine to the merchant mariners that would man the fright ships back in. the day.

That's awesome. Some good old times there!

Thank you for doing this. I'm from Burlington Township - born & raised. I was always curious about the island growing up. I mean, we've heard so many rumors it was hard to believe what was true. This is wonderful. Thanks for documenting my hometown's history.

Thanks for the watching! I'm so glad I could help convey the story to people that never knew :)

Recently got into your videos and I fell down a rabbit hole until I watched pretty much every one. Love all of the local NJ history, and this might have been the best one yet! Keep it up. It may be cool to do an episode on Raritan Landing, the lost port town right outside of New Brunswick. Or maybe Sayre & Fisher brick in Sayreville (largest brick manufacturer in the world for several decades).

Thanks so much for checking it all out Dan. I'm glad you got something out of them. I'll definitely look into both of those topics, didn't know about Raritan Landing. I know a little bit about Sayre & Fisher but I'll see what I can dig up! Really appreciate it! Thanks again for watching.

Hey Mickey, I was glad to see that you are still working on new content. You really did your homework on this one, I thought I was familiar with the subject but came away with a whole new view. Thanks for all of the hard work that goes into your research and the photography was excellent 👍. I can't wait to see what your next subject will be.

I was born in Burlington County New Jersey

Thank you for this fascinating video! It was interesting but sad learning about the people who grew up on the island, but were forced to leave. I admired how they fought legally to stay, which delayed the island management from building it up because they ran out of money. Looking forward to helping to keep this island pristine and beautiful!

Thanks for watching, Bonnie! I'm looking forward to that as well!

Great story. Was not aware that the Island was the first settled European site in NJ.

FWIW, really like your vids. New coworker mentioned living in White City. I referenced the amusement park which he had not known about after living there for decades and stumbled across your content. The production value is great, and seeing local places with stories i have heard bits and pieces of while growing up in the area is awesome. Your playlist is like "Legends of a CNJ Childhood". Commented here since its your most recent. Hope to see more, thanks!
